how do you guys use lemmy?

GladiusB , 6 hours ago

Casually. I poke around whatever pops up but don’t take it too seriously. I usually learn about some other event that I look deeper into.

It’s simple, I use it.

Sarcasm aside, I hop on it every few days to see what new stuff Lemmy is talking about, comment a few things, then move on. Return to reply to replies, rinse and repeat for a few days until I’m in the mood to browse Lemmy again.

Honestly I pretty much just use Lemmy to see the good old fashioned memes. Like everyone is saying, mastodon is the one if you want to follow people.

That is still a growing aspect of Lemmy. There are a few communities that may be interesting to you, such as !Asklemmy or !Asklemmy, !askmeanything, !casualconversation, and probably some others. You can also find some active fandoms by searching, as well as some lifestyle communities (like !fatherverse)

I use it like a forum, browsing by all sorted by “new comments.”

I usually click the icon on my phone and it opens, but ymmv…

Just kidding. Click search, find a topic that interests you and hit subscribe. Then you should be able to go to your settings and make only your subscriptions show up on your landing/home page

Maybe you’re looking for mastodon.

Yeah, def sounds more like a Mastadon use case.

i use mastodon for a long time now but i thought lemmy was a social network too, but now it seems more like news website that organizes news in categories. https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/f2111de2-2695-427d-9f48-666842a8804f.webp
